Sammy Lee Williams, 67, passed away on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, at his home. Born October 18, 1958, in Arcadia, FL, to Kreston and Mary Lou Keith Williams, he had a deep love for his family, horses, fishing, and his chickens.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Kerston and Mary Lou Williams, as well as Tommy Gene Morris, and by his siblings, Ellen Sullivan (James), Linda Irby (William), Wanda Wells (Dale), Steve Williams, and Ricky Morris.

The funeral service will be held at 2 PM on Saturday, January 10, 2026, at Pontotoc Apostolic Church, with Bro. Bennie Randolph and Bro. Ben Eldridge officiating.
